Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1218 PM EST Mon Mar 3 2025

...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1013 AM EST Mon Mar 3 2025

A Fire Danger Statement has been issued for the Tennessee and
North Carolina counties for this afternoon with a very dry air
mass in place. With sunny skies today mixing will be good bringing
relative humidity into the 15 to 25 percent range this afternoon.
Luckily, winds will be very light.

Otherwise, a quiet weather day with warmer temps. Highs will be in
the 50s for most of the Tennessee Valley.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today, tonight, and Tuesday)
Issued at 218 AM EST Mon Mar 3 2025

Key Messages:

1. Warming temperature trend through Tuesday with continued dry
weather.

2. Winds begin to increase across the higher terrain early
Tuesday, then elsewhere later Tuesday. High Wind Watch in effect
for the mountains later Tuesday through Wednesday morning.

3. Elevated fire weather danger Tuesday for the higher terrain
with strong wind gusts and downslope drying.

Discussion:

The upper level pattern transitions to increased ridging aloft and
surface high pressure moving east with time today, allowing a
trend towards warmer temperatures. A closed low just east of
California this morning, is expected to deepen as it moves over
the Plains. By the end of this forecast period, the closed low
will be just west of the Mississippi River. The flow will change
to southerly/return by later tonight, which will aid increasing
temperatures and atmospheric moisture for Tuesday. Just beyond
this forecast period, the trough tries to become more negatively
tilted. At the surface, a low will quickly deepen over the CO/KS
border area. By the end of the short term, the low center is
forecast to be in the region of KS, NE, IA, and MO. By this time
it also exhibits the classic mid-latitude cyclone appearance.

No precipitation just yet through this time as the front and
precipitation shield is over the Mississippi and western TN. Out
ahead of the system though, broad surface high pressure off of the
Mid-Atlantic will tighten the pressure gradient across the area,
and especially so across the Southern Appalachians. The trick
with this timing and potential impacts before the actual front
will be the window of dry air still over the region, paired with
the increasing wind gusts. The latest HREF shows gusts in the 40s
and 50s during the day Tuesday for the mountains and adjacent
foothills, with a short window of minimum RH's in the 20s before
more moist air fills in ahead of the system. Timing of this pair
together may last a bit longer than what models are currently
showing. It's fairly likely a Red Flag Warning will need
coordinated for the later morning hours and early afternoon
Tuesday for the Southern Appalachians.

As far as winds alone, sustained and gusts will notably increase
across the higher terrain tonight. Wind Advisory level most
likely won't be met until the afternoon hours Tuesday. Wind gusts
will also increase elsewhere into the day Tuesday with possible
gusts in the 25 to 35 mph range. It's possible guidance closer in
time will have a better handle of advisory potential, so will hold
off on that decision for now. A High Wind Watch has been issued
for parts of our mountain zones Tuesday into Wednesday morning as
a strong mountain wave enhancement is expected to develop. It has
been consistent in the guidance for days now. The NAM shows south
to SSE 850 flow over the mountains in the 70-75kt range. The
LFREF within DESI shares the same thinking as the NAM at the 06z
Wed time frame. Very high confidence of a high wind event for our
eastern mountains.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 218 AM EST Mon Mar 3 2025

Key Messages:

1. Significant high wind event expected Tue night into Wed.

2. Fire weather concerns linger into Tue night with high winds, but
widespread rain arrives shortly after midnight.

3. Threat of severe weather is limited Tue night, and likely remains
to our south and southwest.

4. Potential for a few inches of snow Wed night into Thu on backside
of this Tue/Wed system.

Discussion:

Tuesday afternoon through late Wednesday morning a strong surface
cyclone will lift from northeast from southern plains to Michigan,
pushing a cold front along with widespread showers and even a few
thunderstorms through eastern Tennessee. Concerns with this system
include high winds coinciding with any lingering low RH levels, a
threat of severe storms, and then some high elevation snow on the
backside of the system Wed night into Thu.

Regarding winds...most deterministic guidance indicates that a
south-southeasterly H85 wind field in excess of 70kt will spread
across the forecast area after midnight Tuesday night. Probabilistic
data supports this, showing greater than 50 percent odds across much
of the CWA late Tue evening for at least 70kt winds at H85 and even
some respectable odds for at least 80kt. Strong cross-mountain
pressure gradients and strong downward omega in the mountains and
adjacent foothills are clear indicators this should be a significant
mountain wave wind event. I would expect that gusts in excess of 80
mph are on the table for our usual spots like Cove Mountain and Camp
Creek with this event. Have gone ahead and hoisted up a High Wind
Watch to highlight this event. In addition to the winds, while RH
will be on an upward trend, there will remain a lingering wildfire
threat north of the I-40 corridor until the rain arrives
around/shortly after midnight Tue night. In coordination with SPC,
an Elevated risk area was added to the Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
for our northeastern CWA. This is primarily for the daytime hours in
the short term, but as mentioned the threat will persist until the
rain arrives.

Regarding severe storms...the parameter space for all things shear
related is very high but the limiting factor for severe storms is
going to be instability. Models show a line of convection arriving
in the southern plateau and southern TN valley shortly after
midnight. Any notable instability is forecast to remain to our south
and southwest where the richer moisture will be. Forecast soundings
continue to show negligible instability at Chattanooga as
showers/thunderstorms arrive, much less as far north as the I-40
corridor or points further north. Given the background wind field,
any stronger embedded showers or thunderstorms could easily produce
some damaging winds. However, the main takeaway from guidance is
that instability required to produce such showers/tstms will be
almost non existent.

Regarding winter weather...H85 temps are fcst to drop to around -6
to -10 late Wed afternoon into Wednesday evening, with H85 flow
becoming northwesterly around 30-40kt. As such, we should see a few
inches of snow fall in the east TN mountains and higher points of
our southwest Virginia counties Wed night into Thu. Uncertainty in
amounts, as well as it being Day 3/4, prohibit me from hoisting any
winter headlines, but the setup seems supportive of at least an
advisory type snow event. Time will tell though.

Snow winds down by Thu afternoon, with dry and cooler conditions
lasting through Friday. The next system arrives Fri night into Sat.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Low afternoon humidity values will once again be present this
afternoon, with readings in the 15 to 25 percent range expected.
Fire danger will be elevated.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

A strong cold front will move through the region late Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning. Strong south to southeast winds
ahead of the system has prompted a High Wind Watch for the east
Tennessee mountains and adjacent foothills Tuesday night.

There is also a low risk of severe thunderstorms late Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning if thunderstorms can keep their
intensity as they move out of middle Tennessee into our region.
There is still some uncertainty if this will happen. Continue to
monitor the latest forecast for updates on the high winds and
severe storm potential.

Wednesday night into Thursday some light snow accumulations will
be possible in the mountains of east Tennessee and also southwest
Virginia.

Spotter activation is not needed at this time.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...

An exceptionally dry air mass remains in place across the southern
Appalachian region. Generally speaking, afternoon RH values are
expected to drop into the 15 to 25 percent range across most of
the area this afternoon. Winds should be light today, but
elevated fire danger levels may continue due to the very dry air
in place.
